As usual, there is more than one thing in progress here with two projects ongoing on the sewing table. The purple quilt has officially started. The first of the shirts has been cut up, giving me 67 blocks. I've also cut out another dress to sew.

I thought I'd give the overlocker a try out, but of course, I forgot, it needs thread. Anyway, I've introduced myself to it, watched the DVD and hopefully, I won't actually go into a panic when I come to use it. Threads have been ordered, so watch this space.

Having no threads for the overlocker wasn't going to stop me, I was just going to sew the dress on the machine, but as with all well laid plans, they are subject to sudden change. Find out why tomorrow.

I have had a lifelong love of crafts which started with being taught how to knit at a very young age. It didn't take long to realise that great joy and satisfaction came from making things. Even now, I get a thrill seeing something that started just as an idea, becoming a finished product, whether I make it, or teach someone else how to make it. ​
